A week prior we introduced a new feature, 'Shout-out', allowing listeners to share their experiences, and we're thrilled to have received our first response from a listener, who shared her empowering journey of increased self-awareness and independence. In this episode, we have an incredible guest on board - Charlie Kramer - a renowned disability life coach who empowers people with disabilities to lead fulfilling lives. Known for his catchphrase 'live kick-ass lives,' Charlie inspires us all to step into our true selves rather than assimilate. So join us as we discuss Charlie's unique approach, the difference between a life coach and a therapist, and the empowering choice of expressing a full identity. Enjoy listening!
